Great. If Dunleavy shoots around 35%, he'll be above most 4's from the arc.

Come on, be serious, are you honestly claiming that Troy Murphy isn't one of the hardest workers on the team??? You're denying a guy props who has averaged a double-double in 3 of his last 4 seasons (and it would have been 4, had an injury not taken him out)???

On the bench? I'm not sure why you'd want to bench Murphy. I understand Dunleavy but not Murphy. Like #32 explained, this man is a hardworker. He goes in every night not trying to do what Shaq would've done in his prime or what Yao could do every night. He goes in every night trying his best rebounding no matter the size of the man he has to box out or scoring over the defender he must get by. It'd be a mistake to bench Murphy. He may not be that huge star but he can play and he does a hell of a job at it. If he can run the floor and bring in a double-double every night, I'll be just fine.

This is blind hatred. Nothing more.

Having dun come off the bench (leave the team actually) is a no brainer but with Murphy, it's having Diogu start!

Murphy works hard enough but still does not make a huge diference in the team winning, not as much as Diogu would anyway

Good to hear some real talk. Murphy is a Warrior. And, now, he's our center. He's no longer blocking Diogu; Dunleavy is. And Dunleavy won't be, once Ike learns the damn playbook. Don't blame the guys in front of him for his own inadequate ability to know where he's at, miggy. That's the only reason he's riding pine right now.

I supposed you'd rather have Andris Biedrins starting ahead of Murphy.

Biedrins' only huge skill is shot-blocking. See Adonal Foyle for that one. Biedrins is an average rebounder (nothing special) and hasn't proven to be a factor on offense.

Troy Murphy is a nightly double-double. His rebounding is amoung the league's best (regardless of what kind of conspiracy theories people will groan on about). Plus, his range extends further out than two steps from the bucket (something Biedrins can't say). Murphy is solid and consistent. We need more guys like that.

You're one of the few people that believe 15 and 10 a night is a bad thing.
